Presumably this broke when the changes in:

 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482354

Went in, since they changed "activating" a window not to hop workspaces unless it was a transient window.

The right fix seems to involve two parts:

 A) The pager/libwnck needs to set the source indication properly in the
    _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW. Right now it is using the legacy/indeterminate
    value of 0.

 B) Metacity should always hop workspaces when it gets a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW
    message with a value of 2 (from a pager)

The libwnck only fix would be to have the libwnck tasklist explicitly move of the window it was activating to the current workspace.
